But are Mercedes-Benz reliable vehicles? A lot of prospective drivers come to us asking, “is Mercedes-Benz a good car?” We certainly think so, but you don’t have to take our word for it! Our service team has outlined everything you need to know about the Mercedes-Benz reliability and safety ratings, so you can stay informed as you search for your next ride.

Mercedes-Benz Reliability Ratings

For the Mercedes-Benz reliability ratings, we’ve turned to RepairPal, one of the leading experts on vehicle safety, reliability, and maintenance. RepairPal uses three criteria—maintenance cost, frequency of unplanned service visits, and probability of severe repairs—to come with a score out of five for a vehicle or brand’s reliability. 

Mercedes-Benz as a whole scores a 3 out of 5 for overall reliability, which is considered average compared to all automakers. The annual Mercedes-Benz maintenance cost is around $908 per year, while the average driver visits a service center just 0.7 a year for unscheduled repairs. Of those unscheduled visits, only 13% result in a major or severe repair.

Mercedes-Benz Safety Ratings

Safety and reliability often go hand-in-hand, and luckily Mercedes-Benz vehicles enjoy excellent safety ratings! The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) publishes a list of their “Top Safety Picks” and “Top Safety Picks+” every year to honor vehicles with outstanding safety features and crashworthiness. Here are the Mercedes-Benz vehicles honored with a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ for the last two model years:

  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4-Door Sedan: Top Safety Pick+
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4-Door Sedan: Top Safety Pick+
  • 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4-Door Sedan: Top Safety Pick+
  • 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 4-Door SUV: Top Safety Pick
  • 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 4-Door SUV: Top Safety Pick
